WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING...
We hired Gina as a photographer for our elopement and she was amazing to work with. From our first e-mail she was excited, interested to learn about us and what we were looking for, and full of ideas to match our goals. Gina was very quick to respond to any emails or calls in the lead-up to our elopement and answer any questions we had.
The photoshoot with her was wonderful - she was fun to be around and encouraged us to do our own thing while she captured all the moments. We didn't feel pressured to do anything out of our element.
Special appreciation to Gina for being able to help with some last minute tech support for us to stream our ceremony for some family members back home. We'll be ever grateful for that.
Gina had our photos ready for us much earlier than we expected and we are ecstatic with how they turned out.
Highly recommend working with Driftwoods Photography!

Your elopement photos are one of the only things you truly take home from the big day. Your photos and the story they tell are how you will relive your day not only with each other, but with your friends and family back home. So, choose a photographer whose style you LOVE! You want photos that take your breath away and make you suddenly need to grab that tissue...I'm not crying, you're crying!!
I am fully invested in your love story from the very first email and consider myself more than just your Vancouver Island elopement photographer. I'm your travel planner, coordinator, biggest cheerleader and friend! Let me take care of the logistics so that you can be in the moment with your person.
And dream big! This is a once in a lifetime experience! Focus on the experience that is important to you and make it happen! As your Vancouver Island elopement photographer, I am ready to capture any adventure you can throw at me! That means I'll get on a kayak or sailboat, hike a mountain, hop on a helicopter, get down in the mud or waist deep in the ocean to get those photos you will frame on your wall or show your grandkids one day. Photos that will unequivocally tell the story of your wild and crazy love and your unforgettable wedding adventure. Let's get stoked on coastal air and windswept hair and embrace the candid in-between moments.
What Clients are Saying...
“I can honestly say, I have never been more happy with a photographer or photography company than I was with Gina Woods at Driftwoods Photography. This is saying something, because I am the daughter of a photographer! My husband and I are from the Southeast United States and wanted to renew our wedding vows on our 25th wedding anniversary on Vancouver Island. From first contact until weeks after the event, our experience could not have been better! Gina met with us via Zoom, got to know who we were and what we were looking for, and not only provided us with venue options, but a visitor's guide to the island! The place we ended up choosing was deep in the forest off of a trail and required hiking. Not only was she willing to do this for us, she was excited about it! When we got the pictures back I cried because they were so amazing! We wanted to be surrounded by a magical forest with photographs that captured the essence of our relationship. Gina did just that! Within one day, she sent us preview pictures and within one week, she sent us all the photos digitally. We had a two hour session and she took many photographs. Her pictures are high quality! I highly recommend Driftwoods Photography to anyone looking for a photographer. Your photographs will be exactly what you want because Gina will spend time getting to know you, will listen to what you want, and is blessed with an amazing talent!“
